Defence lawyers for IFoA investigations

Institute and Faculty of Actuaries investigations – how we can help

If a complaint has been made against you to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), there are various steps which might be taken, including a referral to the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), an Interim Orders Panel (IOP), or (if deemed necessary or you elect to have your case considered there) a full public hearing before a Disciplinary Tribunal Panel.

At each stage of the investigation, you should ensure that you are properly advised and robustly represented by experienced defence lawyers for IFoA investigations. Our experience as a leading firm in the field of professional discipline (including defending at all stages up to and including a Disciplinary Tribunal Panel hearing) leaves us well-placed to guide you through the process, put together a strong defence case, and work towards the best possible result.
